Question: Larry has a multiple-variable equation that explains points scored in a soccer match as a linear function of passing skill, shooting skill and player compatibility.
Larry has a multiple-variable equation that explains "points scored" in a soccer match as a linear function of passing skill, shooting skill and player compatibility. Each of these three variables is ranked on a scale from 1 to 10. As a team improves in one of these three respects, their score will increase. Let's assume that the equation is precisely: Points Scored = 0.18(Passing Skill)+0.25(Shooting Skill)+0.12(Compatibility). MT United is a new soccer team using Larry's model to maximize points scored. Should they focus most of their practice on passing, shooting or player compatibility? Shooting Passing Compatibility Defense 1 point 10. Question 10 In the previous question, we assumed that points scored in a soccer match was a linear function: Points Scored = 0.18(Passing)+0.25(Shooting)+0.12(Compatibility), with each variable measured on a scale of 1 to 10. Imagine that all teams begin by using this equation. Suddenly "Team A" (passing=7; shooting=6; compatibility=6) BEATS "Team B" (passing=9; shooting=8; compatibility=7). How might this outcome be possible? Team A invested in a 'New Reality' that also focused on defensive skills. This allowed them to decrease the score differential enough to win. Team B invested in defensive skills, making them superior both offensively and defensively. Team A had a larger value in the Big Coefficient of shooting, and therefore scored more points overall. 1 point
